Pawtucket 4 Syracuse 3
• Roark 6IP, 8H, 3R, 3ER, BB, 3K, HR
• Arnesen (L, 1-2) 2IP, H, R, ER, BB, K, HR
• Hill 1-3, R, HR, 2RBI
• Brown 1-5, R, HR, RBI
Live by the longball, die by the longball. Corey Brown led off the game with his 21st, Koyie Hill belted a two-run shot in the 7th, but it wasn’t enough as Pawtucket edged Syracuse, 4-3 and took the series, 3-1. Tanner Roark notched a quality start with three runs allowed on eight hits and a walk over six innings, but came away with a no-decision. Erik Arnesen took the loss and saw his scoreless inning streak snapped at 21 and 1/3rd innings with solo shot in the bottom of the 8th that broke a 3-3 tie. The Chiefs mustered just six hits total and went 0-for-5 with RISP and stranded seven baserunners.
New Britain 4 Harrisburg 0 — SUSP. (Bot. 3)
• Demny 3IP, 5H, 4R, 4ER, 3BB, K, 2HBP, 2WP
Perhaps the rains came an inning too late for Paul Demny, who gave up four in the top of the third on four hits, a walk, and a hit batsman before getting out of the jam with a double-play ball. The umps waited nearly two hours before suspending the game, a decision no doubt influenced by the threat of more rain today as well as this being the final scheduled series between the two teams.
Potomac 11 Lynchburg 8
• Grace (W, 5-9) 6IP, 11H, 7R, 3ER, 2BB, 3K, HR
• Wort (H, 3) 2IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 5K
• Hague 2-5, R, 3B, 4RBI, SB
• Sanchez 2-5, R, 2RBI
• Fernandez 3-3, 3R, RBI
With three big innings and 14 hits, the P-Nats outslugged the Hillcats to take game 11-8, and the series, 3-1. Seven of the nine starters racked up hits, with backup catcher Erick Fernandez leading the hit column with three singles and Ricky Hague driving in four, including three with a bases-loaded triple in the 4th. Matt Grace got the win, Jack Morris-style, allowing seven runs (three earned) on 11 hits and two walks, and striking out three.
HAGERSTOWN — PPD
Rain postponed the series opener between the Suns and GreenJackets, and will be made up tonight with a doubleheader starting at 5:05 p.m., weather permitting.
Batavia 3 Auburn 0
• Fischer (L, 1-2) 5IP, 11H, 3R, 3ER, 0BB, K
• Mooneyham 4IP, 2H, 0R, BB, 4K
• Schill 2-4, OF assist at HP
• Ramos 0-3, BB, OF assist at HP
There was a 12mph wind blowing in at Falcon Park, but a 13K breeze blowing out as Batavia blanked Auburn, 3-0. The Doubledays were limited to just two singles (Wes Schill) and two doubles (Carlos Lopez, Estarlin Martinez) as they stranded seven baserunners and went 0-for-5 with RISP. David Fischer suffered the loss, giving up three runs on 11 hits (two runners thrown out at HP, two double plays) with no walks and one strikeout over five innings. Brent Mooneyham finished the game with four innings of two-hit ball, walking one and fanning four.
GCL Nationals 9 GCL Cardinals 4
• Selsor (L, 0-1) 3IP, 7H, 5R, 5ER, BB, K
• Heredia 3IP, 7H, R, ER, 0BB, 2K
• Foat 3-4, 2-2B, RBI
• Difo 2-4, 2R, 2B, BB, CS
• Rendon 0-2 (L5, F8) – no def. chances
The G-Cards scored early, often, and late to take this one, 9-4. Casey Selsor took the loss in his first start, giving up five runs on seven hits and a walk over three innings. Anthony Rendon made his first appearance since his ankle injury in April, going 0-for-2 with no defensive chances. Matt Foat and Wilmer Difo continue to rake, combining for five hits, three doubles, and two RBI.
DSL Phillies 4 DSL Nationals 3
• De La Cruz 1IP, 1H, 1R, 0ER, 0BB, 0K
• Silvestre 6IP, 3H, 1R, 0ER, 3BB, 3K
• Berrio (BS, 1; L, 0-1) 1IP, 3H, 2R, 2ER, BB, K, WP, E
• De Los Santos 2-3, 2B, 2RBI, 2E
• Mercedes 2-3, R
Five errors were too much for the D-Nats to overcome as the D-Phils rallied for two in the 8th to win, 4-3. Jorge Berrio took the loss, giving up the tying and winning runs on three hits and a walk, while throwing a wild pitch and committing an error. Juan De Los Santos and Yermin Mercedes both went 2-for-3, with De Los Santos doubling and driving in two.
